Publisher's Summary

Everett: There are a ton of reasons why falling for my tiny, adorkable best friend is a terrible idea - starting with the body in my trunk.

I have other reasons - he still mourns his late husband. I’m way older, he’s a foot shorter, my tattoo shop is a front, he’s an assistant professor at UT.

Still, I can’t help but think we’d be perfect for each other if I didn’t kill people (very, very bad people) for a living.

Rafi: How the f--k did I not realize how hot my best friend is? Yeah, grief, or whatever, but were my eyes not working?

Silver fox, check. Tattooed hotness, check. Cuddles with me on Monday nights while we watch Australian melodramas, check. Says he’s not a good person but totally is, check.

New goal: Get Everett to stop looking at me like a grieving widower and start seeing me as someone he’d like to pin against the wall.

Now, if I only knew what was behind the door marked Portal to Nowhere...

Hard Target is a mercenary MM romance set in Austin and the Texas Hill Country. It features tattooed hotties, adorably complicated twinks, best friend antics, an illegally confiscated vineyard, and a team of killer do-gooders.

This is the first book in the Wrecked: Guardians series. Several characters from my series about a gym for combat vets, Wrecked, cross over in this series. While you don't need to listen to the Wrecked books to enjoy the slightly more nefarious Guardians, lots of people end up wanting all the juicy backstories.

Hard Target worth a listen

I have a new favourite male narrator! He can change voices for each character like nothing I have listened to before. This is my second listen to Zane Daniels and I will be looking for more. Amazing!

Could not put it down.

This was a lot more engaging that I was expecting. The only reason I didn't finish listening in one sitting was because it was 3am and my body couldn't stay conscious.
I'm not sure if it was the way it was written or the way it was narrated, but there were a few times when I had to back track a few minutes in order to comprehend what just happened (mostly during conversations or interactions between multiple characters)

Thrilling and sexy!!

I was hooked on this story from the opening line and could barely put it down.

It's captivating, emotional, healing and sexy. With dynamic characters and fast paced writing. I'm now a huge fan of Kelly Fox.

The narration for this one is amazing! Everett and Rafi have their own voices which enhance their uniqueness and bring them to life. The performance is spectacular. Most of the characters have their own "voice" and I was thankful that he didn't try and put on a female voice for Parker and just kept in his skill set.

While it is mentioned that you don't have to have read the previous series before this one I will admit to being a little lost with some of the characters and their pasts. There are also a few characters that seem to come out of nowhere or that we should already know but I don't. This doesn't really take away from the story, I'd just say it might be more enjoyable to have read the other series first. This is still a thoroughly enjoyable story! Now I have to go back and read all the previous stories!!
